I have had the honor and pleasure of bestowing another celebrity with a custom made piece from SariBlue. Just like you, I don’t know everything about the recipients of our gifts, but when I have the opportunity to send a Sariblue creation to a celebrity, I explore a bit to be able to customize something very special and significant. When I delved into the life of Tyra Banks, I found out that she is an incredibly successful, prolific woman with more talents and endeavors than I ever realized.

Her story begins with the typical “ugly duckling turned swan” model tale that we’re all so familiar with. But after that, the typical tale turns drastically different. She had to fight to be accepted as a black model. Naomi Campbell tried to have her banned from modeling to keep the competition at bay, but despite opposition, she booked an unprecedented 25 shows at her first Paris Fashion Week and proved she was a force to be reckoned with in the fashion world. But what you may not know is that she has continued to be a force in many other arenas.
